Lahore’s origins date back to ancient times. The city has been ruled by numerous empires throughout its history, including the Hindu Shahi, the Ghaznavid dynasty, the Grid, and the medieval Delhi Sultanate. Lahore reached the height of its splendor under the Mughal Empire in the late 16th and early 18th centuries and served as the capital for many years. The city was captured by the forces of the Afsharid ruler Nader Shah in 1739 and then fell into a period of decline during the conflict between Afghans and Sikhs. Lahore eventually became the capital of the Sikh Empire in the early 19th century, regaining some of its lost glory. Later, Lahore was annexed by the British Empire and became the capital of the British province of Punjab. Lahore has been the center of the Indian and Pakistani independence movements and is also the site of both the Declaration of Independence of India and the Resolutions Establishing Pakistan. Pakistan experienced its worst unrest during the pre-independence period of partition. Following the success of the Pakistan Movement and his subsequent partition of British India in 1947, Lahore was declared the capital of Pakistan’s Punjab province.
